I agree with the other poster that the tutorial jumps back and forth and is a bit confusing when you have little to no knowledge on sewing. That being said, your video is the best for hand sewing I’ve seen. It was very informative. I just would’ve rather seen the 2 masks done separately. Thanks for your video.

Might have been helpful if not showing the stitching process for the hems on Style #1 to state onscreen while or just after demonstrating running stitch on Style #2 that you use the same technique to stitch the short ends of the Style #1 fabric before folding it over at 5:30 (assuming I'm guessing correctly that you did).
